THE OOLOGIST 



certain times it is still common on the 

 West Coast. In a small tree is an Isle 

 of Pines Lizard Cuckoo, while in the 

 grass catching locusts are a flock of 

 Cuban Grackles. In a "Hobo Plum" 

 tree are several Cuban Orioles while 

 in the "Ceco Plum" bushes are three 

 or four Cuban-wings, also a rare bird. 

 This is typical of the West Coast 

 and is a daily experience for me as 

 I have charge of the development in 

 this section. Besides the birds I see 

 lots of the so-called wild pigs and an 

 occasional crocodile or more correctly 

 I believe, "Cayman."
